Random cricket stuff

Anyone anything they'd like to share. We haven't had a post on here since Thursday.

My first ever bat was a Duncan Fearnly bought around 1988 I would guess.

I once played against someone who won the cricket World Cup

I once clean bowled Chris Cairns at Ropery Lane -mind you I was 17 and he was only 10 or 11 and it was a lunchtime knockabout while his old man was playing for Durham!

Don’t let his associations with match fixing cast doubt over the authenticity of that moment mate

Sitting isolated in my house today when I thought I would be sitting isolated in a stand on my own at the Riverside watching the the friendly against the university.

Been refurbing all my old bats in the garage for something to do.

Got a part made bat that I’ll be making up soon as I want to learn how to make my own bats.

Random fact; Don Bradman only hit 6 sixes in his entire test career, 5 of them v England.

Was thinking this myself. Co Durham Upper would have been canny today.

A month ago I would have thought did that but it sounds fantastic now.

Never played the game at any real level except in the back garden or park - where I remember pretending to be Allan Knott throwing a ball against the wall and catching it like a cat.

Playing in the back lane and taking long run up like Bob Willis.

Dustbin lids for wickets. Thinking oh fuck when the ball went in the yard where the dog was

 

[Cumberland]

Tip and run with the lamp post as the wicket.

When I played at school, we had a coaching session from Richard Illingworth of Worcestershire. The fact I stayed crap from that point on shows how memorable it was.

My first bat was an SS Jumbo and I once used it to score 30 off an over in U13s cricket. It was subsequently used by not one, but two Durham CCC legends.

Neither of which are me.
